Cap and Lebron Rant

Lebron should go to Chicago, but I bet he stays in Cleveland.

Players who aren't awful but are on the Heat roster:

Udonis Haslem (always good for 10 & 8 in 25-30 minutes, 50% FG)
Mike Miller (2nd in NBA in 3FG% in 2009-10)
Mario Chalmers (hit biggest shot in last 10+ years in college basketball, solid contributor as a rookie)
Da'Sean Butler (AP 2nd Team All-America last year, called "steal of the draft" by some experts)
Jarvis Varnado (NCAA Blocks Record)

Those are some decent players. However, I wonder how many shots any of them will be taking this season. James, Wade, and Bosh will want 25 shots apiece, and there just won't be much left over for anyone else. Miller's numbers will go down. Haslem will bo OK because he will work the boards. It's going to be very interesting watching these guys try to play together.

I do not agree with that at all. For one I think they are intelligent enough to realize that is not going to happen. They obviously came together knowing they were not going to each be the "man." I think based on match-ups each player will do what they do best. LeBron has the best all around game and I could easily see him as more of an assist man than the top scorer. I think it will be fluid and will change based on who they are playing. I can even see one of these role players being the high scorer if a team is intent on taking away the top guys.

All we can say it will be fun to watch.

Peace
